Legal at Brex

The Legal team helps the company grow responsibly, advocating for Brex and for the thousands of growing businesses we serve.

Reimagining the financial system in a highly regulated environment requires creativity and resourcefulness, and we welcome the challenge.

What you\'ll do

You will help us build, globally scale, and continuously improve Brex's spend management software products, including budgets, spend policies, approvals, and audit and controls from the earliest stages of ideation through launch—translating complex regulatory, card network, and bank partner requirements into practical product decisions and helping teams move fast without compromising on compliance.

You know how to break a project down into first principles and see it from concept to release, and you understand when to solve a problem in-house.
